discuss What Is The Role of Faith in Modern Society?

[1stop]

Some thoughts have been running through my mind about faith and its role within today’s society. Given the fact that there are a lot of cultures and religion it becomes challenging to determine the role of faith in all of these. Should it affect our legislation and public policies? Should it be separated from science and education?

For me, faith is a very private issue. It’s about doing something meaningful and having a good reason for living. I disagree that faith must be the way in which we govern our societies but I strongly believe it can guide us in becoming better individuals.

You have some good points there! Interfaith dialogue is a concept that can be adopted and should be done with good motives. People of diverse cultures should be able to sit and discuss what they have in mind. This can go along way in removing the barriers and could help to start building the relationship between the different communities.

Personally I see faith as an action word, in the sense that faith makes you take action. I have faith my business would do well hence I take action by starting a business.

Do you actually thing this is possible? I mean can a Muslim person and Jewish can actually have a meaningful dialogue without belittling each other?

Permit me to jump in . Of course there will always be tension but it is without a doubt that people of different faiths including Muslims and Jews can engage in civil discussion. I believe that when we starts mentioning common values based on our humanity, people will begin to appreciate togetherness.

Well, I have never seen a religious discussion between two opposing faiths without offending each other, neither in real life nor on TV. If you know too much about religion, you will never come to conclusion. Theoretically it might be possible but not practically.
